(have gone, have heard, have felt, have been scared) vs (go, hear, feel, am scared)
I have made up the similar examples below.
(1) Over the past three days, I have not been able to sleep well. When I have gone to bed late at night, I have heard a spooky sound from the outside. Then, I have felt my bedroom shaking slightly. I have been scared. (You think the activity might end today.)
(2) Over the past three days, I have not been able to sleep well. When I go to bed late at night, I hear a spooky sound from the outside. Then, I feel my bedroom shaking slightly. I am scared. (You are expecting the activity to continue repeatedly for a while.)
Most of my friends think both versions are correct depending on how you interpret them. Most of my friends think (1) is grammatically correct. There is no question about it. (2) is also correct when the event seems to be ongoing. In addition, you are expecting it to continue in the foreseeable future. What is your opinion.
Please help me. Thank you very much.
